1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A 60-year-old female with a 5-year history of infiltrating basal cell carcinoma of the left ala underwent Mohs micrographic surgery requiring seven stages for complete clearance. The resulting 3.5 × 2.5 cm defect affected the entire left ala, nasal sidewall, medial cheek, lower lateral cartilage, and inferior nasal mucosa. Reconstruction involved using a bipedicle mucosal flap for internal lining, a scaphoid cartilage graft for structural support, and a paramedian forehead flap for the overlying cutaneous coverage, followed by a series of staged refinements for optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes. This case highlights principles for multilayered nasal reconstruction emphasizing subunit planning, mucosal lining restoration, and vascularized flap coverage to achieve both airway patency and esthetic integrity.
